Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Street Urchin Terrified by Ghost

"In school, didn’t you promise me? To tell me about the Fan family’s matters at night when you get back," Suizi said, her curiosity piqued all afternoon.

During the day, Yu Jingting had told Suizi that he had found out a lot about Fan Hua. Suizi had spent the entire day wondering what it could be and if it had anything to do with her mother.

"I did promise you—" Yu Jingting reached out and scooped Suizi into his arms.

Suizi yelped in surprise, quickly wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Put me down! I’m heavy!" With twins in her belly, and all that, she was quite heavy!

But Yu Jingting ignored her, carrying her all the way to their bed.

"You have to do what you agreed to!" Suizi wrapped herself up in the blanket, turning into a cocoon.

She couldn’t let this rascal have his way.

If they continued to snuggle like this, she would have no energy left to listen to the mysteries of the Fan family.

"Of course, I will do what I promised, but do you remember how I said it?"

Upon recalling, he did mention during the day that he would tell her in bed at night?!

Having overlooked that detail, she gave him an opening!

She knew that the bed isn’t a place where serious stories are told!

As expected, by the time Yu Jingting was in the mood to chat, Suizi could hardly keep her eyes open.

"Tomorrow, you have to tell me. A husband should not deceive his wife... Pinkie promise."

Her hand reached out, barely making it halfway before dropping limply.

Yu Jingting smirked.

"You’re already exhausted. Your stamina is really bad."

The consequences of fooling around were severe.

Suizi held a grudge.

Before daybreak.

Yu Jingting was sleeping in a daze, feeling a rather chilling gaze fixated on him.

The sensation was becoming increasingly eerie.

He opened his eyes to look towards the edge of the bed.

"Holy shit!" He was instantly awake.

Suizi, with her wild hair, was standing at the edge of the bed, shining a flashlight in his face.

"Wife, are you possessed by a ghost? Come here, let me use my ’demon chaser’ to scare it away!"

Suizi, her prank a success, switched off the flashlight and stood there proudly, hands on hips.

"If you dare to touch me again, I’ll scare you tomorrow, and the day after!"

Yu Jingting muttered an expletive, giving up on his naughty thoughts.

It was not her amateurish pretended possession that he was afraid of, but rather, he was worried about her losing sleep over these silly antics. Wasn’t this wasting energy?

"Now can you tell me about the Fan family?" Suizi crawled back onto the bed, naturally resting her head on his arm.

"You dressed up as a ghost just to hear this?"

"Not exactly. I got the idea while going to the loo in the middle of the night."

The public toilet was a fair distance from the house, and any late-night trips had to be accommodated by the chamber pot at home.

Sitting there in the chill, Suizi suddenly thought of a ghost story.

"I once heard a ghost story, it said that while you’re using the toilet, a hand suddenly reaches out from the latrine! And touches people! It scared the hell out of me!"

This story had scared Suizi so much she dared not go to the toilet alone for a long time.

Yu Jingting nodded.

"I’d be scared too! I’d take a stick of dynamite and blow that latrine to kingdom come! And then I’d pour a couple of buckets of dog’s blood in there. Whether it was human or ghost, who dares touch my wife!"

"...was your brain wired differently from normal people?"

Suizi thought he should change his name to ’Ghost Worry’.

Even ghosts would worry if they met someone like him!

How could she have been so naive to think that a ghost story would scare a fearless man like Yu?

"My dad always used to say, ’even ghosts are afraid of evil people, fearlessness comes from ignorance’."

"So you admit you’re an evil person now?"

"..."

The room fell into a brief silence.

Yu Jingting cleared his throat.

"Let’s go back to the story of the Fan Family."

In the darkness, both of them couldn’t see each other’s expressions. Yu Jingting reached out and flicked his fingers.

"Are you laughing again?"

That little minx. She’s getting bolder and bolder, daring to laugh at him. Hmm.

Now that both of them were wide awake, Yu Jingting began to talk about Fan Hua.

The rascal had, in his earlier years, led people to do many terrible things.

He had persecuted a lot of good people.

Even his ex-wife was someone he stole from another man.

It was said that in order to snatch her, he drove her previous fiance to jump into a river.

The mentally disabled child was the offspring of his ex-wife.

He would abuse his ex-wife every day, and even the whole family had insulted her, accusing her of being unable to bear normal children. After doctors diagnosed her with a mental illness, he divorced her immediately and married his current wife.

His current wife isn’t much better, she and Fan Hua are alike. Yu Jingting casually listed a few examples, all of which made Suizi feel disgusted.

It could be said that these two were a rare match of trashy individuals.

"Two pieces of trash brought together should cancel each other out," Suizi murmured.

No wonder Professor Sun felt so disgusted when seeing Fan Hua.

After hearing all these, she felt that it was justified for Yu Jingting to damage his car twice.

"So, you should stay away from the Fan family in the future."

Suizi nodded, she already had no intention of getting close to this family, and hearing about their disgusting past made her want to keep her distance even more.

The night was still young, Yu Jingting urged Suizi to sleep a little more. Watching her peaceful sleeping face, he fell into deep thought.

His mother-in-law told him to keep a close watch on Suizi and prevent her from coming into contact with Fan Hua.

He did as his mother-in-law instructed.

Chen Lijun didn’t explain the reason behind this, but Yu Jingting intuitively felt that there was definitely more to this.

But, so what?

Yu Jingting thought of the ghost story Suizi told him and coldly smirked.

Anyone who dared to lay a finger on his wife, whether it was a ghost or a human, would first have to get past him, nobody would stand a chance!

Another day of idleness had passed, and Suizi put down her pen and stretched.

She had watered all the flowers in the office, and had read the newspaper that was delivered this morning three times.

The lecture she was going to give tomorrow night, she had memorized it so well that it had become second nature. She felt annoyed from having too much free time.

She originally planned to use her spare time to read books for self-study exams, to upgrade her education after giving birth.

But when she looked at the textbooks, Suizi was silent.

The questions were so simple that she felt studying them was unnecessary.

The college entrance exam had just been restored a few years ago, the questions were too friendly.

Suizi even had a feeling that the local punks in her neighborhood could pass if they were properly encouraged.

This job was unimaginably idle.

"Director Chen, I’m going to the market to do some shopping. Is there anything you need me to bring back for you?"

A male colleague came over and knocked on the door.

Suizi thanked him, but she didn’t need anything at the moment.

"Hey hey hey! Big Liu, get me a bag of sunflower seeds! I’ll pay you back later," Wang Mengmeng rushed out from the office.

Big Liu had an unhappy look on his face.

"You still owe me money from the last time I got you food."

"Come on, don’t be so petty. You’re a grown man, are you going to go bankrupt over some sunflower seeds?" Wang Mengmeng was used to taking advantage of people.

She often asked colleagues to bring things for her, and once she got them, she wouldn’t mention payment.

Each time it was just a few cents, not expensive, but the frequency was too high. Everyone in the office was quite annoyed with her constant acts.

Except for Suizi, she couldn’t take advantage of her. Almost all of her colleagues had their wool sheared by her.
